Walk-In Manufacturer Adds West-Coast Facility

Manitowoc Foodservice Walk-in and Refrigeration Division expanded its Kolpak manufacturing capabilities westward with an additional manufacturing facility in Goodyear, Arizona. This new facility gives Kolpak the flexibility to manufacture coast to coast, offering speed-to-market and cost-savings on freight to customers. No matter where the walk-in is manufactured, freight costs will be optimized using one of three shipment points: Parsons, Tennessee; Portland, Oregon; or Phoenix.

Kolpak’s new expansion capabilities include fabrication of foamed in place panels, high-density rails, and wood-framed construction to meet the needs of specialty markets. In addition, the number of business development managers in the field has doubled to ensure full service and added value to customers.

Optimizing shipping locations, expanding fabrication capabilities, and increasing the customer service base are just a few of the benefits of Kolpak walk-ins. Initiatives like this allow Kolpak to achieve a 96 percent on-time delivery status.

Kolpak offers a wide range of energy saving and environmentally friendly products and features. Indoor and outdoor units are designed for maximum cold-holding performance with minimum environmental impact, all while saving money on energy costs, operating costs, and overall cost of ownership.
